Redguard

Redguards, the dark-skinned people of Hammerfell, are a physically powerful race in Tamriel. Combined with their knowledge of all weapon and armor types, they make great warriors or thief-type characters. The Redguards' Adrenaline Rush ability is similar to the Orcs'Berserker Rage and Nords'Battlecry.

Their naturally high One-Handed and Destruction attributes make the Redguard a good race for those who want to play as battle mages.

Recommended Class

If you are a Redguard you can pretty much be any class. If you want to be a one-handed weapon wielding badass, this is thé pick, but you can still be a good archer, even if their skill bonuses focus a little more on melee combat and sorcery. Redguards also make good offensive mages.
